A Middle East Holocaust

Foundations and corporations
do not support truth-tellers. American
foundations underwrite war and US
imperialism. Foundations support subversion
of countries that are not Washington’s
puppet states. Your website has no
foundation support, no corporate support; it
only has your support.
I have been around for a long
time and have experienced more than most.
The current situation in my experience is
the most dangerous time of all for humanity.
Nuclear weapons are no
longer restrained by the Cold War MAD
doctrine. Washington has released them into
pre-emptive first strike form.
The targets of these
pre-emptive strikes–Russia and China–know
it, because Washington proudly proclaims its
immorality in public documents describing
its war doctrine.
The result is to maximize
the chance of nuclear war. If you were
Russia and China, and you knew that
Washington had a war doctrine that permits a
surprise nuclear attack, would you sit there
waiting while Washington cranks up its
anti-Russian and anti-Chinese propaganda
machine, demonizing both countries as a
threat to “freedom and democracy”?
The fools in Washington
are playing with nuclear fire. Noam Chomsky
points out that in a less dangerous time
than currently exists, we came very close to
nuclear war.https://philosophynow.org/issues/107/Noam_Chomsky_on_Institutional_Stupidity
Harold Pinter,
one of the last Western intellects,
understood the danger in Western arrogance.
He denounced the West’s crimes and called
for the crimes to be subject to established
law before it is too late for humanity.
“We have brought torture,
cluster bombs, depleted uranium,
innumerable acts of random murder,
misery, degradation and death to the
Iraqi people and call it ‘bringing
freedom and democracy to the Middle
East’. How many people do you have to
kill before you qualify to be described
as a mass murderer and a war criminal?
One hundred thousand? More than enough,
I would have thought. Therefore it is
just that Bush and Blair be arraigned
before the International Criminal Court
of Justice.”Harold
Pinter, 2005 Nobel Prize Acceptance
Speech.
“An Iraqi Holocaust” by
Gideon Polya http://www.countercurrents.org/polya230315.htm and
“Genocide In Iraq” http://www.countercurrents.org/polya150315.htm provide
abundant evidence for convicting Bush and
Blair.
Dr. Gideon Polya is a
professor of science in one of Australia’s
leading universities. He has a moral
conscience, something increasingly rare in
the Western world.
His articles are based
largely on the just published by Clarity
Press two volume heavily documented Genocide
in Iraq by Abdul-Haq Al-Ani and Tarik
Al-Ani. Abdul-Haq Al-Ani is a
British-educated lawyer with a Ph.D. in
International Law and a Ph.D. in electronics
engineering. Tarik Al-Ani, is an architect,
translator, and researcher.
Currently I am reading the
two-volume work and intended to review it.
But Professor Polya’s articles suffice as an
introduction to Genocide in Iraq. Washington
has committed a terrible crime in our name.
Washington not only murdered Iraq,
Washington has murdered the Middle East.
Washington and its despicable vassals–”the
Coalition of the Willing”–are responsible
for a Middle East Holocaust.
For people in the
Anglo-American world who have a moral
conscience, the facts are soul-wrenching.
The populations of the countries whose
governments comprised “the Coalition of the
Willing” are contaminated with war crimes
committed by their governments in the Iraq
Genocide. A progressive modern state was
obliterated, and 2.7 million Iraqi people
were murdered.
The crime was covered up
with propaganda that demonized Saddam
Hussein and created fear of nonexistent
weapons of mass destruction.
The Iraqi genocide was
based on a lie, and both Bush and Blair knew
it. The two satanic leaders simply decided
to destroy a people who they first demonized
and marginalized.
Cheney and the neocons
continue to justify the genocide and the
illegal torture regime that they created in
order to produce fake “terrorists” as a
justification for their war crimes. The
Western media, especially the New York
Times, is also complicit in the Iraqi
Genocide as are the insouciant Western
peoples themselves who stood by cheering
while millions of people were destroyed on
the basis of a blatant and transparent lie.
What does the West
represent? Greed? Lies? War? Torture? War
Crimes? Selfishness, Intolerance?
Destruction of life on earth?
The “Christian” West is a
master at propaganda and self-deception.
Look at the evangelical churches. They
support a criminal, inhumane regime while
professing to be followers of Christ.
Look at American
“conservatives.” They support the
militarized police state. They support the
routine police murders of dark-skinned
American citizens. They support every war
Washington dreams up and even more. Indeed,
there are not enough wars for the
satisfaction of Congressional Republicans
who now want war with Russia and with Iran.
Look at the Republicans in
Congress and in state governments. They hate
the environment. They love polluters. They
worship Israel and Israel’s destruction of
the Palestinians and the ongoing theft of
the Palestinians’ country, a 60-year old
activity. Just look at the map of shrinking
Palestine. More is stolen each day.
Washington has supported
this theft of an entire country. Yet,
Washington is able to masquerade as a great
defender of human rights. Whose rights?
Washington’s and Israel’s. No one else’s
rights count.
How does the world survive
the American-Israeli aggression? Probably it
will not. The evil is now directed at Iran,
Russia, and China. These countries cannot be
bombed year after year after year with no
consequences to the bombers.
Iran is limited in its
destructive ability. But Iran could destroy
Saudi Arabia and Israel. Russia and China
can destroy the US and all of Washington’s
vassal states. The intensity of Washington’s
propaganda war is driving the world to
destruction.
How can it be stopped when
Putin himself says over and over that
Washington continually ignores every thing
that the Russian government says. Putin is
the peacemaker. Every peace proposal he
brings is ignored by Washington whose
response is to beat the drums of war louder.
Unless European
governments recognize the danger in
Washington’s aggression and dissolve NATO,
planet earth hasn’t long to live.
The American public needs
to understand the consequences of
Washington’s illegality and criminality. On
the one hand it means that those subject to
Washington’s aggression have to endure war
crimes, but on the other hand it means a
growing hatred for America. As Washington’s
easy targets are used up, Washington engages
countries that can reply to force with
force.
Unless the
neoconservatives are ejected from the Obama
regime and banned from inclusion in any
future American government, mushroom clouds
will go up over Washington, New York,
Boston, Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Seattle, Dallas, Houston, St. Louis,
Cleveland, Chicago. The American mid-west,
which hosts the ICBM silos, will become
uninhabitable except by cockroaches.
Americans, and the
populations of the American puppet states,
desperately need to understand that
Washington is incapable of speaking the
truth about anything. Washington is an evil
force. Washington is Sauron. Washington is
Satan.
Look at Iraq. Look at
Afghanistan. Look at Libya. Look at Syria.
Look at Somalia. Look at Ukraine. Nothing
but destruction comes from Washington. Will
life on earth be Washington’s next victim?
